Homework Statement
I have this incomplete Beta function question I need to solve using the Beta function.
[itex]\int^{a}_{0}y^{4}\sqrt{a^{2}-y^{2}}dy[/itex]
Homework Equations
Is there an obvious substitution which will help convert to a variant of Beta?
Beta function and variants are in Beta_function Wikipedia article
The Attempt at a Solution
Every time I look at the question I just start trying to integrate it as if the Beta function is irrelevant. I can't grasp how the beta function is applied to the 'incomplete' questions.
Thanks.
